One cannot do much with all the monies in this world but can do much more if he strives toward contentment.

Nice box worth the opening bid!
Easy to see glazing is home made - glue clearly visible on windows forward of the door & looking at the corner windows on the side with the door it is possible to see a missing corner where whoever cut this glazing from flat sheet plastic didnt cut quite enough plastic to cover the bottom front corner of the window.A properly moulded glazing insert would also have some noticeable thickness on the corners unlike this very thin sheet used by homebuilders. Painted wheels also show it was done by a handy person not Lesney!
